Paris continues to be the happy hunting
grounds Of Americans. Every hotel, every
shop, and the foyer Of every theatre resounds
with various sorts Of English spoken In Boston,
Chicago. New York. and all other parts Of the
United States. The principal business OF
Americans when they are Idle seems to be to
ind out something interesting about Mr..
Blaine. and Mr.. Biaine's chief desire seems to
DO to thwart his oompatriots. Mr.. Blaine

and whose name figures prominently In the
Government report of the Cbili-Peruvian In
vestigation. He expressed his great regret he
had not been In America to testify at the inves-
tigation, rs he thought he could have proved
Blaine's innocence OF charges brought against
him. and asked II Mr.. Blaine were still alive,
and how he and EYarts and the others were
getting on. The ignorance Of American affairs
is painfully dense in Paris, Mr.. Montferrand,
who told how glad he would be to
sec Blaine, whom he declared much
injured man. was greatly surprised
to learn that he was in Paris. and much moro
surprised when, as We were descending tho
grand staircase after the opera. / pointed out
to him man with little felt hat pulled low
down over deadly white face. and told him
that was Blaine. Mr.. Montferrand declared he
would never have recognized him. He sought
to reach and speak to Blaine. who was escort
ing very lovely American girl, but was pre-
vented by the crowd. He took his address
at the Hotel Binda, however. and Blaine
has perhaps received q friendly call ere this.
While in Vienna Mr.. Blaine had an adventure
which was interesting. As no was going up
the steps Of the opera house there the appears

he saw his valet De Place, to whom he had
intrusted his overcoat. handing that useful
garment to Q stranger. The stranger was

coats and Wallets were 80 much alike that
Blaine confounded them, and although It was
Cuilen's man handing Cuilen's ovcrcoat to
Cullen, Blaine thought his own man had made

grabbed the coat and told Cullen to let CO.
Cullen hung on and joked. He declared that
he was good Democrat. but did not think
Blaine was bad enough to try to take tho coat
OF . compatriot whom he met In strange
land. Blaine was mystined. He docs not know
now that 1t was Cullen who led his delega-

gray one faced with silk like his. and he con-
tinued to hold on and to upbraid Cullen and
the courier. whom he mistook for his own
valet, until his daughter came up, apologized
to Cullen. and pscihed her belligerent parent
with tho assurance they had got the wrong
man and the wrong coat, and that his coat and
valet were faithfully awaiting him inside the
opera house. Mr.. Cullen sails for America on
the Trave on Nov. 8, and expects to have a
! good time telling the story how Mr.. Blaine at
tempted highway robbery.
1t seems. by tho way. that Americans are not
to see Blaine for some time to come. Princess
Christian was told by him that no intended to
remain over here another year at least.
